Anxious synths and a solid beat make up the spacious, simple sound of “Commando of Love,” the new single from French-punks, The Anals. Released on Vacouver, CA imprint Sweet Rot in late June, “Commando” does more with less, employing guitars, synths, drums, and vocals that are all set to attack. Raw and abrasive, growling trance-like drones expand to mesh with agressive drumming and a lyrical delivery that invokes a sense of urgency.
The 7” marks the first (and only?) record from the Metz, France duo who state they’re “here to beat girls and boys with love and passion.” Further information on the band is slim at best, and my French is about as good as that new Hold Steady record, but the label states that half of the band passed away in late 2007 and “The Anals are done.” It’s a fucking great first/last single if that’s the case. Grab the mp3 below and head over to the label’s site to buy the vinyl, which is wrapped in some killer cover art.
